I am a camper. I love camping. I spent my childhood summers between running wild around our neighbourhood, in our pool and camping with my family. We would sometimes take 2-3 trips a year for a week at a time.
One of my favourite parts of camping is camp food. My dad would usually whip up a batch of chili con carne (pictured above) which invariably tasted so much better than at home. Of course, we also had other typical camping food like canned ham, hot dogs and hamburgers.
These days I like to up the ante by combing my love for camping and for food and there are plenty of other bloggers out there who seem to feel the same way. Read on for a selection of 31 camping recipes from breakfast to dessert that are so ingenious they are sure to stun you!

It's Chili Con Carne with sweet corn... which I do actually mention in the second paragraph of text. I didn't include a link to the recipe because it is such a common dish and everyone seems to have their own way of making it.
